About the Item

Selvas Negras n°2 is a unique pencil and charcoal on canvas painting by contemporary artist Calo Carratalá, dimensions are 200 cm × 300 cm (78.7 × 118.1 in). The artwork is signed, sold unframed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Two men are shown operating a boat on a river in the Amazonian Jungle in this piece of art. The overlay of pencil lines and the intensity of the black colour emphasize the atmosphere's calm but dense appearance. The "Jungle" series by Spanish artist Calo Carratalá depicts his interpretation of the Amazonian rainforest, which he has visited on numerous expeditions in Brazil, Peru, and Ecuador. Using his own experiences and the feelings the location evokes, Calo Carratalá recreates the landscape. He has lived in a forest and has fully assimilated it, as seen in his paintings and drawings. Without explicitly saying so, the artist questions how we relate to nature and the conflicting emotions it can elicit, such as fascination and fear. Contemporary painter Calo Carratalá was born in 1959 near Valencia, Spain, and specialises in figurative paintings of natural landscapes. He has travelled widely to destinations from the Amazon to Norway and developed a romantic view of nature, extolling its beauty and the power of the elements that make it up. Travel is at the heart of the artist’s creative process: he immerses himself in the places he visits in order to paint them.
